[nyumpa]

just wonder....when a nano is no longer a nano?

total volume of water

1) 10-20g
2) 21-30g
3) 31-40g
4) > then 40g

Funny Question. For a guy with a 1000 plus gallon tank a 120 would be a nano.

i was just reading a thread on nano-reef.com about this. i think anything smaller than 40g is considered a nano.

Its more of a matter of opinion.

Seen a post elsewhere on people debating this and the conclusion was put at under 20g, but then alot of people on the site that had tanks 20+ and started to say "But we're nano tanks too!" so they bumped it into the under 30 catagory. Then people started complaining b/c they had 30-40g tanks and thought they were nano's. You see where this is going.

IMO anything under 25g is considered a nano, or anything that your doing a 2-4g water change. If your not worried when you go away for a weekend b/c someone is taking care of your tank and your worried they will add 1-5 ml too much of bionic and your tanks gnna explode its not a nano :scratchch. A true nano is a 15 gallon or less. Or anything that your having a hard time filling up your hydrometer to take a salinity reading :biggrin:

Again this is up for debate.
